Late Playboy mogul Hugh Hefner’s wife and kids must stay drug-free to inherit fortune

At the height of his success, Hugh Hefner was said to be worth £200 million, and while his fortune may have reportedly dwindled to a slightly paltrier £32 million when he passed away in September, if his family wants to get their hands onto any of it they have to be drug free. In documents obtained by Entertainment Tonight, Hefner’s trust indicates his wife, Crystal, and four children Christie, David, Marston and Cooper must not take illegal substances or become dependent on illegal substances or alcohol in order to access their trust. According to the website, the lengthy document states ‘mandatory distributions to the beneficiary and the beneficiary’s withdrawal rights … will be suspended’ if: ‘…the trustees reasonably believe that a beneficiary of any trust routinely or frequently uses or consumes any illegal substance so as to be physically or psychologically dependent upon that substance… ‘…or is clinically dependent upon the use or consumption of alcohol or any other legal drug or chemical substance that is not prescribed by a board certified medical doctor or psychiatrist in a current program of treatment supervised by such doctor or psychiatrist, and if the Trustees reasonably believe that as a result the beneficiary is unable to care for himself or herself, or is unable to manage his or her financial affairs.’
